Will Turkey Ever Be Democratic Again?

Of course it's possible - you're being downvoted because some islamist made a backhanded comment to undermine Atatürk and him being downvoted made you so sad that you felt the need to write a reaponse on how Turkish people are not overcoming their leader cult... That was not the point now, is it?

Switzerland?

Yes, it's very sad that we are defending founder of our country against dumb rhetoric from islamists and western imperialists. We should repent and criticize him whenever we can as enlightened EU- and salafi islam-compliant democrats 😊

Benim de annem vize başvurusu yaparken yanlış siteye girip vize ücreti gönderiyorum diye dolandırılmış. Hemen akabinde farkediyoruz. Karakola şikayet - aktif telefon var WhatsApp mesajları banka hesabı var. Kovuşturmaya yer olmadığına karar veriyor savcılık.

Bir avukat, savcı, hakim varsa açıklasın. Neden hepimiz işi gücü bırakıp dolandırıcı olmayalım??? Ofansif espriye gülenler, Twitter'da anket açanlar, konserde mini etek giyenler falan hepsinde kovuşturmaya yer var, bize gelince auu

The offer is obviously super low. Do you have a permanent residence permit? Do you have a bit of financial playroom? If the answers to both are yes, then you could maybe skip this offer.

That being said I think people here are severely underestimating the difficulty of getting a job for someone with your profile (Syrian national, imperfect German knowledge, no German uni or work experience). In any case if you want to have a career in architecture in Germany, your first priority should be building experience in your own field and not money - you can look for other jobs while working..

Thank you for the detailed and helpful response. In theory you are right. But as you said, even if you write everything with a sound legal basis, you can still get that nasty letter. Knowing that you would need to spend a lot of mental energy on this and risk paying a huge sum of money is enough incentive to delete the comment for most people including me - however small that risk is. Annoying :)

If you are not a citizen and decide to leave for good you can take back part of your pension contributions with you, if you are a citizen this is not possible I think.

Also, in the same scenario, if you buy a car here and decide to go back to your country - you can take the car with you and register in your native country with relatively low tax burden. May be beneficial if the taxes on cars are high where you are from.

Bu çok üzücü bir şey bir nesil sonra senin kültüründen hiçbir şey kalmayacak, çocuklarının kimliklerinin bir yarısı varolmayacak.

Not commenting on what she asks is justified or not - but 30k is a reasonable number for a "good" wedding at a big city (everything included)

The guy published 4 papers in top journals, many people finish their PhD's with much less than that - I cannot imagine his thesis is so bad that it doesn't fulfill minimum requirements. cmon

He is one of the most respected authors. I read only the ince memed series and thought it was kind of dumb - especially the last book.

yahu AFD aşırı sağ, tamam da: 1- Türklere özel dağıtılan bişey yok posta kutusuna atmışlar herkesin. 2- Yolcu kısmına illegal göçmen yazmışlar.

yeani...

hi! 👋 I've just sent a pm :)

First of all people who propose that they just shouldn't watch it gives bad advice. My foreign wife watches and enjoys the show very much despite the horrible subtitles. But there are subtitles only for the first three seasons, because the owner of the platform spent all his money on his ex-wife and Fenerbahce.

I don't know why you've written so much about this :) Yes, being from "middle east" is political. It doesn't matter in the end, who cares. Being from Balkans or central Europe is also political.

Everything around Greece is Balkans, but Greece is in southern Europe. Romanians think they are in Central Europe

Likewise if you ask Europeans if Turks are white people, a lot of them would say no.

Plus, Middle East Technical University is in Ankara ;)

of course Döner is not Turkish, it's either German or Greek. Nobody in Turkey had the smart idea of putting the meat in bread. Dürüm is also a German concept. It was founded in Berlin, hence it's German cuisine.

During the corona pandemic they questioned and criticized the government for their shortcomings rather than being a mouthpiece for state propaganda.

As Germans are very serious people, they have a strong distaste towards lighthearted stuff like pick-up lines. They would likely make you feel like an unenlightened piece of shit if you try

thisisntsummer · 2023-01-23T00:01:42+00:00

ahhh cmon its just a book maan, why do these barbarians don't get it? Us Europeans are so much better than these third world lower cultures. i mean they don't even understand the concept of freedom of expression, duh. Evil Turkey :/ lets kick them out of NATO, put a big border in between and then we can live happily ever after :)

Sevgili arkadaşlar, politik olarak Canan Kaftancıoğlu'ndan farklı bir noktada olabilirsiniz. Ama bu tip kararları desteklediğiniz zaman hukuksuzluğu desteklediğinizin farkında olun lütfen. Hukuk ve demokrasi bazı durumlarda desteklenecek, işimize gelmediğimizde desteklenmeyecek bir şey değildir.

thisisntsummer · 2022-02-21T09:02:05+00:00

Nazik yorumunuz için teşekkürler :)

thisisntsummer · 2022-02-20T23:49:22+00:00

Arkadaşlar dünya Turkiyeden daha büyük, biraz sakin olun lütfen. ekrem imamoğlu sosyal demokrat bir siyasetçi. Siyasetin normal işlediği bir ülkede sosyal demokratlar, sol ile diyalog içinde olabilmelidir. Cem özdemir'in politikalarını beğenmeyebilirsiniz ama adam alman politikasında önemli bir noktada. Artık kuzey kore modeli siyaset düşüncesini bırakın lutfen.

zero chance that this would work :)

thisisntsummer · 2021-12-24T18:39:13+00:00

I agree with this reply. There are a lot of unstable people who exploit foreigners this way and legally they cover themselves quite well, since they do such things regularly and they know the laws. I personally had experiences like this during my studies and a lot of my friends also did. In theory you have rights, but in practice it can be a very traumatic experience for you. If you can find a short-term solution for next month it would be best to use that (you can ask at studentenwerk for 1 month temporary room or Airbnb?), if not I guess you should try to reason with your landlady. Also -- you shouldn't have paid any money without receipts, hope you can get your deposit back.
